Faux Designer Paper (with a twist) & Vellum Sentiments

These are two cards that I made for my father-in-laws birthday.  They both use the TJ Newsletter technique called Faux Designer Paper (with a twist).  I used distress inks on the grandfather card and Stampin up! inks on the lighthouse.  The stamps for both cards are from Gina K Designs and Stampscapes.  I colored the lighthouse with copics.

Thanks for looking.
